Russia Process News Today

A look at Breaking News, politics and reports from around the world. Its more of a custom inside the justice department. It doesnt say that there cant be an investigation 60 days out from an election. What it says is the norm is that there isnt an overt move in an investigation dealing with an elected official or somebody on the ballot at 60 days before the election. For example, a subpoena, an indictment or pushing to get an interview during that window. Thats true. But at the same time you all...

Lose-lose situation for the democrat party from my perspective. neil: you know, senator, a couple of your republican colleagues, mitt romney, susan collins come to mind are disturbed by the tone and the remarks the president made when talking to the ukrainian leader and raising the issue, even if its not impeachable its worrisome when the leader of our country once again involved -- the appearance of a foreign power trying to exert influence in another u.s. election. does that part trouble you? ...

Romney, maybe susan collins, you are not hearing a lot of that. do you suspect that to remain the case? >> i do right now. the fact of the matter is the impeachment process, to be successful, needs four things. first of all it needs to be fair and with an orderly process. in 1974 with the watergate impeachment by the democratic congress of richard nixon they were scrupulously fair and they went to the house of representatives as a whole and got approval to proceed before they issued subpoenas re...

The presidents counsel the kind of access to cross-examine witnesses to testify before the committee. looks like they will only accept a letter from the presidents counsel after the fact. these things persist, the appearance is going to be this is indeed a kangaroo court where they are trying to railroad this process and move it expeditiously and not a cause i judicial proceeding where the party and the public is being treated fairly. secondly as you know, it needs to be bipartisan and i see no ...

Guilty until proven innocent. its quite the reverse. you need to collect the facts, be quick about it, its not like fine wine getting better with age, but at the same time we have to hold true to our principles and the letter of the law. i dont think that beto orourke is doing himself favors jumping to the punchline pishs wewishes true going through the process. neil: theres a rush to this, an unusual rush. what do you think of that. i found it disconcerting. and i also found it disconcerting wh...

If you look how she handled obamacare and a lot of big issues, its a central process for her. it goes through her office. she will ultimately make the call with consultation with adam schiff the chair of the intelligence committee and where the articles of impeachment would go out of even if they go more to the ukraine way. neil: when they talk about 200 democrats or thereabouts in mind to impeach the presidents for all the various possible reasons you stated, would nancy pelosi move if it got u...

Atteat the end of this process by mueller that will include the facts of the investigation. a real committee -- look at the senate intel committee led by republican senator richard bu burr very honorably looking at the russia process and saying why dont we consider a fact. devin nunes is saying, i dont care what mueller find, were supposed to be a block on the mueller process. if you gave nunes the f and the a, he couldnt spell fact. all he says is weve got to block what they do. the senates got...

Public, not necessarily to the executive branch, including the president. >> right. a coequal article i branch of government thats supposed to be loyal to the constitution, not to the president of their own party. i think republicans in the house have at times played this fairly partisan even in comparison to republicans in the senate. what makes congressman nunes stand out is that if you look at some of his statements, that statement, his actions going to the skiff at the white house last sprin...
